Rumor: All Purpose Trade Proposals, Speculation and Rumours - 2023/24

[Heldig]

Mcgroaty for Jiricek + Laine $2.5 per retained. Ehlers re signs. Always said Laine liked it here.


That one trick pony was on pace for almost a point per game two years ago. Would have been top 3 on our team.

Will take much more than that. unless you are suggesting Laine has negative value?

 

[surixon]

murat on wst was talking about how everyone thought scheifele/helle were gone and then they signed but then said this is not that situation with mcgroarty and he will be traded and thought he would have been traded already

Chevy is nothing if not a grinder. He'll grind this down to the last minute as per usual.

You're not lying.

Can someone convert this into Don Cherry for me, please?

I don't really know what his value would be. I think Laine at full contract with injury history would be negative value.

 

[kanadalainen]

Habs with that trade could be making a move towards Rutger.

21st & Barron/Struble for Rutger+

Fun to watch the Rutger thing work out and see what he returns

Montreal is always interested in Winnipeg's assets.

Well ya know, wasn't gonna say it <voice rising>, wasn't gonna say it <vocce crescendo, pounds desk with fist>, but even this here Line-eh (big fella, did I get the name right?) you know, isn't as tough or durable as yer sundry saskatchewan kid, he did ok in that year before he smashed up his collarbone. Oh now yer lookin at me: would I put em in at Center - hell no, HELL NO, I wouldn't do that! Kids a natural winger, he's gotta shot too, thats what, off the charts with that, but his BIGGEST PROBLEM is ADDATUDE..If he gets that figgered out then look out oh boy. Maybe our Sault St Marie boy there, uh, Paul, wasn't the right guy to get that done, but oh boy 44 goals in THIS LEAGUE is nothing like ta sneeze at.

His value certainly isn't high. Big contract, player assistance program and wanting out of another team. I'm sure plenty of other teams would take him at a reduced cost. He comes with a lot of baggage.

Sounds like he has inside info but if McGroarty is not trade all these so call reporters will lose a lot of credibility. That’s why I’m waiting for another 4 hours.

I have a feeling you are right. Mcgroarty trade will happen during the draft.

Which is a very good thing!

weibe on wst said mcintyre sent him a cryptic tweet about ehlers and iaffalo being of interest to the sabres

most likely bullshit

Iafallo is from the Buffalo area. I seem to recall them having interest in him as a matured player.

I guess it depends on how serious Buffalo is on actually doing something this year. Veteran forwards to help are something they need. But they need a goalie much more then either.

It sounded like the ask for Ehlers was a young roster player and a 1st. But if something more substantial is coming back then I could see Iafallo being added to balance cap.

Benson makes some sense as does Savoie. 10th overall and potentially a younger dman.

I think Devon Levi is primed to make the jump soon. He's killed it at every single level up to now so it seems likely that he will figure it out at the NHL level. They probably roll with UPL and Levi and see what they have there before making any major decisions in net.

Buffalo has nice assets in the organization so it will be interesting moving for....

I doubt Benson is in play but could see Savoie who is a bit blocked by their depth at center and RW. Would love Savoie and a first.

Huh. Who is this person and why would he know anything.

This kinda trade seems like something that would be kept in lockdown. But you never know.

I like dumping iafallo. I like him but we need the roster spot and cap space.

Yeah I'd be over the moon with that.

 

[Buffdog]

If Chevy can turn Ehlers, Iafallo and McG into 2 1sts and a good young roster player...

Then replace Ehlers with Laine (with retention) for a song

Would make for a very interesting off season.

I'd be happy with just Savoie. Including a 1st would make me ecstatic.

No way savoie AND a first

 

[Daximus]

I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. Still a few more hours to go and Chevy is nothing if not diligent. Likes to make a splash too.

Not sure about the interest in Ehlers, but with multiple teams apparently interested in McG, he'll grind them all down to little nubs to extract every last ounce of value
